Three Dimensional Biomedical Imaging 1985

The best known of the new 3-D imaging modalities is X-ray computed tomography, but exciting progress has been made and practical systems developed in 3-D imaging with radioisotopes, ultrasound, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These volumes will feature up-to-date reviews by leading scientists in each of these imaging areas, providing a timely and informative comparison of the intrinsic capabilities, complementary attributes, advantages and limitations, and medical significance among the different three-dimensional medical imaging modalities.

Synthesizes for basic scientists and medical practitioners in any discipline the fundamentals, principles, historical evolution, current methods, and practical applications of three-dimensional imaging in medicine and biology. Compares all the major approaches and their benefits and limitations, and discusses such elements as multimodal imaging, computers, processing and visualization, measurement, and interpretation. Highly illustrated, including over 50 color plates. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
